In a typical month, you can see two crescent moons: one during the waxing phase and one during the waning phase. The waxing crescent appears shortly after the new moon, while the waning crescent appears just before the new moon again. Depending on the lunar cycle, there may be slight variations, but generally, two crescent moons are visible each month.

The crescent moon is no different than the regular moon itself. It is just a phase. The reason we see it this way is because a moon year and a moon day is the same number of earth hours, so we see the same side of the moon year around.
